It is intended to provide you, our client, with a general overview of the property.

2 We recommend that all parties interested in the condition of this inspected property, protect themselves by contacting our office for an on-site property review or by attending their own Inspection with an inspector of their choice. This Report may not include pertinent visual and verbal information discussed at the property during this Inspection . This Report should be read carefully so that you have a clear understanding of its contents and if you should have any questions, please do not hesitate to call our office to discuss your concerns with your inspector. Respectfully submitted, All About Homes Initials of Inspector/typist For Review Only, Sample ReportFor Review Only, Sample Report PLEASE READ ~ IMPORTANT INFORMATION ~ PLEASE READ This Report is designed to be read and considered in its entirety. It contains information About the property s conditions and the limitations of the Report . This Inspection is a limited examination of only the items visually and readily accessible to the inspector on this date and are herein mentioned in this Report .

3 The scope of this Inspection is to provide our client with only a general overview of the property, rather than an in-depth evaluation of a particular item or condition. The Report will not disclose every item or condition that might require attention, nor is it intended to be a repair work list/order. There is always a risk in buying and owning a house. This Report is not designed to, nor can it eliminate, all the risks. This Report does not relieve the property owner from disclosing conditions known by them concerning the property. Therefore, it is important that our clients protect themselves by doing a thorough walk-through of the property, thoroughly examining all known reports and the seller s disclosure statement, and by making sure that all questions are answered before the close of escrow. Since this Report is only a visual Inspection , it is not possible to include the examination of concealed vapor barriers, the interior of the wall cavities, areas beneath covered floors, anything hidden from view or underground.

4 The kitchen and laundry appliances are also not included in this Inspection . We do not inspect for, nor confirm, the presence of environmental pollutants such as urea formaldehyde, asbestos, lead, radon, etc. We also do not inspect for any type of pest (insect or rodent), pet debris or odors. All of these items require a technical expertise beyond the scope of this Inspection and therefore, an Inspection of these items must be made by a competent specialist. We do not include conditions which are covered by State Structural Pest Control Board. A special license is required to inspect and Report on such items as, wood destroying organisms, insects, fungi, dry rot, etc. Inspection for such items should be obtained from a competent pest control contractor. "All About Homes Residential Inspections" and its inspectors are not engineers nor do they possess experience in any of the specific fields of engineering. Therefore, nothing in this Report should be construed to represent an analysis of site stability, underground drainage, soil composition, structural or seismic stability, or any other type of engineering analysis.

5 Confirmation regarding any of these items requires that a competent soils and/or structural engineer be consulted. This Report is not a building code Inspection . However, some of the items in this Report are judged for basic compliance with established building standards which were practiced at the time of the construction. It is possible that this Report may not reflect the local municipalities interpretation of, or compliance with, these standards.

6 This information should be obtained from, and reviewed with, the appropriate building or planning department. ~ KEY WORDS AND PHRASES ~ It is extremely important that you understand our use of key words and phrases within your Report . 1. SERVICEABLE: Serviceable indicates a system or component is currently capable of providing its overall intended function. 2. MINOR: Minor indicates a condition that presents a slight exposure to health and safety or possible failure. This is a condition that has advanced to a point needing routine service. Routine service is performed during the maintenance of the property. 3. THE FOLLOWING ITEMS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED: When it is suggested that a condition or item be addressed, it is because it is not serviceable or does not reflect current established health and/or safety standards for residential construction. These items have progressed to a point of repair, replacement, or correcting to be considered safe and serviceable.

7 They are indicated in the Report by placing a ( ) in front of the listed item. 4. ESTABLISHED BUILDING STANDARDS: When a condition does not meet with established building standards it indicates that this component or condition does not reflect the general building, fire or safety requirements in use at the time the work was performed. This type of condition often presents a significant concern and should be addressed. 5. OBVIOUS / UNSERVICEABLE: Obvious or unserviceable indicates a condition that compromises its ability to safely perform its intended function. This is a condition that usually presents a significant concern. Immediate action should be taken to correct this situation. 6. COMPETENT CONTRACTOR OR SPECIALIST: When it is suggested that an item be repaired or that a competent contractor be consulted, there is a condition that presents a hazard or concern to personal safety, or may no longer serve its intended purpose. Since our Inspection is only a general overview, a further evaluation by a competent specialist is often necessary to determine what specific action is needed and whether or not additional conditions exist within the system or component that would require correction at this time.
